The two-hour event, dubbed “Ringo and Friends at the Ryman,” is set to broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ this spring, having premiered earlier this week at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Concert Highlights

Starr showcased tracks from his recent country album “Look Up,” alongside his solo hits and classic Beatles songs reimagined through a country perspective. The concert’s proceeds will support the American Red Cross and assist those impacted by the wildfires in Los Angeles.

Jack White kicked off the show with a rendition of Carl Perkins’ “Matchbox” alongside Starr, and later performed the Beatles’ classic “Don’t Pass Me By.” You can view the footage below.
